The Grove is a residential community located on Cook Avenue south of Grove Street. Northeast end of Barrie. They have Nurses full time. A Doctor is in every day. They have open living as well as people to take care of you if that’s what you need. We can have the freedom of driving your own car there and living in one of the apartments and the freedom of gardening they have beehives make a lot of honey and they play a lot of games and have lots of entertainment. I do have a family friend that lives in there and they have loved it since they’ve been there. I also know a few people that volunteer there and they have been for years.
